CyE Router AP Switch Configurator Command Line Mode

CyE Router AP Switch Configurator Command Line Mode lets you generate commands for Cisco devices, such as: Routers, Access Points and Switches using command line mode.

Working with CLI is like typing command by command, which can be very difficult to work using it if you have a lot of Cisco devices to configure. Also it is difficult because with CLI you're using a command-prompt window and with the use of Telnet you are connecting to the devices. And by using these methods you are only able to paste only one command at a time, which is not so great.

In other words the other half of the process is represented by another tool that is useful in sending this data to the CLI by means of copy and pasting. This tool is called PenguiNet. It is a 30 days trial software but it gets the job done. Why another tool ? When having a list of commands, you need to paste those commands one time and the device will do the job, instead o pasting as many times as the number of commands. PenguiNet allows you to paste the commands only one time and of course this is enough, because you get the configuration done.

Having this tool and having the commands generated on-the-fly, meaning you can change the IP address of an interface or a routing protocol and you will have the configuration generated in no time, could improve the time needed to configure a device and you will keep track of configuration files so far.

Also the application has a calculator. When you are configuring a device you need an IP address that must not be a broadcast address or a network address, so the calculator can be very useful when you do subnetting. If you need to see what is the binary representation of an IP address or vice-versa you can use the calculator section.

Below I will provide a list of functions that the application covers. Here is the list of functions:

￭ Set the name of the router; ￭ Assign IP address to the interfaces (serial, Ethernet, loopback); ￭ Configure Routing Protocols; ￭ Set up Access Control Lists (ACLs); ￭ Configure static, default and dynamic routes; ￭ Add other router commands.

￭ Set the name of the Access Point; ￭ Configure Interfaces; ￭ Create SSIDs and VLANs; ￭ Configure Authentication; ￭ Configure Encryption; ￭ Add other access point commands.

￭ Set the name of the switch; ￭ Configure the Interfaces; ￭ Create VLANs; ￭ Set up VTP Domain; ￭ Set up TRUNKing; ￭ Add other switch commands.

￭ Binary 2 Decimal; ￭ Decimal 2 Binary; ￭ AND(IP, SM) = Network IP; ￭ Subnetting with '/' [e.g.: /26, /30].
